The family of the boy rescued by a 16-year-old Santa Cruz lifeguard in a dramatic and heart-pounding viral video described the intensely emotional surf rescue for the first time. "Another two of three seconds, I don't think my son would have made it," said Sumit Rai, the father of the rescued 10-year-old, Nathaniel. Sumit was at home at Texas while his son Nathanial and daughter were on vacation in California with their mother. He found out about the incident after his son called him and told him he had nearly drowned. "He assumed he was going to die." #surf #rescue #lifeguard #ocean #santacruz #california
